The Design
About Patia Vuilnisbak
Patia is een pedaalemmer ontworpen voor gebruik in de keuken. De verticale strepen op de romp fungeren als verstevigingsribben. Het convexe en concave patroon verhoogt de sterkte en helpt deuken tijdens transport te voorkomen. De romp is gemaakt van koudgewalst staal, gesneden met laser en gevormd op een continue wallijn. Het deksel en de voetsteun zijn gevormd met stempelmatrijzen. Een lichte druk op het pedaal opent het deksel langzaam, waarna het deksel terugkeert naar de gesloten positie, zodat contact met de binnenkant van de emmer wordt vermeden. Patia meet 400 mm in breedte, 330 mm in diepte en 622 mm in hoogte.

- Unique Properties
- The core innovation of this product lies in the combination of structural reinforcing ribs and decorative stripes into one. Through precise mechanical calculation and structural design, and by using the convex and concave elements of the stripes on the barrel body, it serves as a reinforcing rib for the product, preventing it from deforming during transportation. At the same time, it enhances the aesthetic appeal of the product and distinguishes it from other products on the market.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 400mm x Depth 330mm x Height 622 mm
- Tags
- Striped elements, reinforced rib protection, silent opening and closing, and light luxury appearance
- Production Technology
- The barrel body of the Patia product is made of 0.6mm cold-rolled steel plate, which is precisely cut by laser and formed into a striped structure in one go through a 16-station continuous rolling line. The depth of the convex ribs is 8mm±0.1mm, with a tolerance of, and is made by high-precision die stamping. The bucket lid and footrests are formed by stamping dies in one piece. Bottom
- Design Challenge
- The greatest challenge in the process of implementation and research is how to enhance the strength of the product barrel while maintaining its aesthetic appeal, ensuring safety and rationality, as well as integrating it into the home environment. Finally, through continuous refinement of the 3D model and sample verification, this striped trash can was designed.
- Research
- Market research has found that most similar products remain at the stage of undesigned smooth surface treatment, which is prone to deformation during transportation. Moreover, they are homogenized and lack a sense of design. We have innovatively adopted 0.8mm thickened cold-rolled steel plates. Through a precise rolling process, the stripes present a three-dimensional drop of 10mm, which not only enhances the compressive resistance but also improves the product's aesthetic appeal.
- Inspiration
- Traditional metal trash cans usually dent and deform due to impact during transportation. The load-bearing structure in buildings inspires us to transform functional reinforcing ribs into decorative stripes. Each concave and convex vertical pattern is not only the "skeleton" of the barrel, supporting the stability of the product, but also creating a sense of rhythm through the refraction of light and shadow.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Shenzhen in October 2024 and will be completed in Shenzhen in June 2025.
- Operation Flow
- Operating this type of trash can is very simple and intuitive. The user only needs to gently step on the trash can lid, and it will automatically slowly lower and open without the need for manual lifting. After putting away the garbage, the lid will automatically return to its original position. The entire process does not require touching the inside of the trash can, effectively preventing hand contamination and the spread of odors.
